Denver police are asking for help in identifying a man suspected of fondling at least three women near the University of Denver over the past three months.

In each incident, the women were walking alone at night when a man walked up and fondled them.

All three incidents occurred just off the DU campus, police said.

The latest incident occurred on Oct. 27 at 10:37 p.m., as the woman was walking near South High Street and East Wesley Avenue, police said.

The woman was able to break away and run from the man.

A second incident occurred on High Street and a third incident happened on South University Boulevard.

The man is white or Hispanic, has brown, possibly curly, hair and is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and may wear glasses.

Police are asking people not to walk alone or in dimly lit or dark areas and to be aware of their surroundings.
